DescriptionThere is an array of (2 * n – 1) integers. We can change sign of exactly n elements in the array. In other words, we can select exactly n array elements, and multiply each of them by -1. Find the maximum sum of the array.ExampleIf input array is {-2, 100, -3} then we can obtain maximum changing sign of -2 and -3. After changing sign array becomes −{2, 100, 3} and maximum sum of this array is 105.AlgorithmCount negative numbersCalculate the sum of the array by taking absolute values of the numbers.Find the minimum number of the array by ...

the fmod()in python implements the math modulo operation. The remainder obtained after the division operation on two operands is known as modulo operation. It is a part of standard library under the math module. In the below examples we will see how the modulo operation gives different out puts under various scenarios.Positive numbersFor positive numbers, the result is the remainder of the operation after the first integer is divided by the second. Interesting the result always comes as a float as we can see from the type of the result.Example Live Demofrom math import fmod print(fmod(6, 7)) print(type(fmod(6, 7))) print(fmod(0, 7)) ...

We have usually seen the print command in python printing one line of output. But if we have multiple lines to print, then in this approach multiple print commands need to be written. This can be avoided by using another technique involving the three single quotes as seen below.Example Live Demoprint(''' Motivational Quote : Sometimes later becomes never, Do it now. Great things never come from comfort zones. The harder you work for something, the greater you'll feel when you achieve it. ''') Running the above code gives us the following result:Motivational Quote : Sometimes later becomes never, Do ... Read More

In Python, a list is a built-in data structure that is used to store an ordered collection of multiple items in a single variable. Lists are mutable that means we can add, remove, and change its elements. In this article, we will learn how we can add the corresponding elements of two Python Lists. You are given two equal sized lists in Python and your task is to create a new list containing sum of corresponding elements of the lists.Consider the following input output scenario:Scenario Input: List1 = [3, 6, 9, 45, 6] List2 = [11, 14, 21, ...

Suppose we have an array A[] with n positive elements. We have to create another array B, such that B[i] is XOR of all elements of A[] except A[i]. So if the A = [2, 1, 5, 9], then B = [13, 14, 10, 6]To solve this, at first we have to find the XOR of all elements of A, and store it into variable x, then for each element of A[i], find B[i] = x XOR A[i]Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; void findXOR(int A[], int n) {    int x = 0;    for (int i = 0; ...

Suppose we have an array A[], with n elements. We have to find another array B[], whose size is n+1, such that GCD of B[i] and B[i + 1] is A[i]. If there are multiple solutions, then print one of them whose array sum is minimum. So if A = [1, 2, 3], then output will be [1, 2, 6, 3]When A has only one element say K, then B = [K, K]. So the B[0] will be A[0]. Now consider we are done up to index i, so we have already processed index i, and calculated B[i + 1]. ... Read More

Here we will see that is the upper_bound() function in C++ STL. This function returns an iterator that points to the first element in the container, which is considered to go after val. The syntax is like:iterator upper_bound (const value_type& val); const_iterator upper_bound (const value_type& val) const;The return value is an iterator, pointing to the first element in the container which is considered to go after val.Example Live Demo#include #include using namespace std; int main () {    set myset;    set::iterator itlow, itup;    for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++) myset.insert(i*10);    itup = myset.upper_bound ...

Here we will see the Shuffle and random_shuffle in C++. These functions are used to shuffle array elements in C++. We can use the vector also instead of arrays, the usage is similar. Let us see the random_shuffle() first. It is used to randomly rearrange the elements in range [left, right). This function randomly swaps the positions of each element with the position of some randomly chosen positions.We can provide some random generator function to tell which element will be taken in every case. If we do not provide some, it will use its own random generator function.Example Live Demo#include ... Read More

Text EditorThis will be used to type your program. Examples of few editors include Windows Notepad, OS Edit command, Brief, Epsilon, EMACS, and vim or vi.Name and version of text editor can vary on different operating systems. For example, Notepad will be used on Windows and vim or vi can be used on windows as well as Linux, or UNIX.The files you create with your editor are called source files and for C++ they typically are named with the extension .cpp, .cp, or .c.A text editor should be in place to start your C++ programming.C++ CompilerThis is an actual C++ ...

It is used to extracts characters from the stream as unformatted input and stores them into s as a c-string, until either the extracted character is the delimiting character, or n characters have been written to s (including the terminating null character). The declaration is like:basic_istream& getline (char_type* s, streamsize n ); basic_istream& getline (char_type* s, streamsize n, char_type delim);The parameters are ‘s’ pointer to an array of characters, where the extracted characters are stored as a c_string. Next parameter is ‘n’ this is the maximum number of characters to write (including the terminating character). The third parameter is ‘delim’ ... Read More
